Follow your heart’s desire! ~~ Really?
Follow your heart’s desire! ~~ Really?
Here is what Alan Watts has to say about following your heart’s desire in this 3 minute video. From my own experience, he’s right. He advises against living a miserable life chasing money, doing what’s not fulfilling you and going after “what makes you itch.”
Does his message sound unrealistic? Unworkable for your life circumstances? Too good to be true? It’s not.
This is my story. A little over 10 years ago, I was managing a multimillion dollar budget while driving 300 miles weekly chasing mostly useless meetings. Tomorrow, I am flying to Sivananda in the Bahamas for a 10-day paid trip to teach yoga, meditation, relaxation and guided imagery ~~ my heart’s desire. And I’m going back there May 23-26, 2013.
Yes, it’s true, but it wasn’t necessarily on purpose. Life had a way of closing other doors on me (and it wasn’t pretty) until I was pointed directly toward following my heart’s desire.

What is mindfulness ~ Why it matters
Let me share with you the best definition of mindfulness and its benefits that I’ve come across. Diane Poole-Heller shared it with us at the recent NICABM conference.
Mindfulness is the moment to moment awareness of present time, inner and outer experience, with a non-judgmental and 
non-evaluative stance.
Research has shown that a mindfulness practice helps develop all 9 functions of the Pre-Frontal Cortex.
- ANS Regulation – Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Balance
- Attuned Communication – felt sense of other’s experience
- Regulation of emotions
- Response flexibility
- Empathy
- Insight – self awareness
- Fear extinction – GABA fibers to amygdala
- Intuition – deep knowing
- Morality.

Yoga Moon Salute ~ Chandra Namaskar
Here’s an amazing yoga posture sequence called the Salute to the Moon (Chandra Namaskar). Like the Sun Salute, it is a wonderful way to link poses and breathing together to enjoy better coordination, build endurance and create relaxed energy. In it, standing postures are done in a way that flows as naturally as the moon moves through its phases.
Julie’s moon salute sequence features the mountain pose, moon, star, forward bend, warrior options, and a standing spinal twist. It’s heavenly!
HANDOUT LINK: Yoga Moon Salute – Chandra Namaskar (pdf) shows photos for each posture with the proper breathing for the Salute to the Moon.
Here’s Sarah Brightman singing Figlio Perduto, the music we often play while practicing the Moon Salute.
